Yes, yes, and once again yes!
Clemens has the same opinion (in this case ;-)) in that
- the word 'Web' in Web Services should be dismissed as it confuses people too much. But we should find another one,
- Messaging is the way to think about [Web] Services (hey you non-HTTP transports: show up and get the party rolling!),
- UDDI is not as bad as nearly everybody thinks. UDDI has just been communicated in the wrong way to the customers. It is not about the super-duper automatically Web Servces shopping system - no! Use it wisely and you will love it. For some more clarification on how UDDI may be leveraged Clemens refers to the latest version of his SOA talk.
The only point I am still not quite with him (in terms of that it will be possible at all) is the thing about WSDL. But we will see :-)
This is a good Saturday ... our daughter got us up a 6.00 a.m., I had a short IM session with Clemens at around 7.45 with nice and positive news and now I will go into my real Saturday weekend life ...
